It had new ignitors/coils last year and has now lost power dramatically , but once its "on the cam" it goes Ok.
Have the ignitors/coils gone again?

No. HT failure would lead to misfires and rough idle.

Could be a few things, e.g. blocked catalyst, airflow meter failure etc. Are you getting any fault codes? (I thinnk you can read flashcodes on this car). Try www.troublecodes.net

Idle has got more irratic and sometimes you need a bit of clutch juggling to get the beastie to move at junctions.
